Which is the more common spelling for this word in British English. I always learned to spell it as "judgement" at school. Anyone know what the OED says? Thanks in advance. :D

With E is more common in Britain and Ireland but both are correct afaik. Without E looks horrible, though!

I've always liked having the E in there, even though one doesn't pronounce it!
